Monday night’s game between the National League West first-place Los Angeles Dodgers and the NL West fourth-place Arizona Diamondbacks will features what will unquestionably be among the biggest and most coveted in-stadium promotional giveaways of the 2025 season for those lucky enough to be among the first 40,000 at this division-rivalry game. It is Vin […]
(Read More)Muncy Reaches Milestone
Hitting 200 home runs is a highly respected and significant accomplishment over the course of a Major League career, which, of course, means hitting 201 is even better. During Saturday’s 18-2 pounding of the AL East first-place New York Yankees by the NL West first-place Los Angeles Dodgers in front of a Dodger Stadium crowd […]
Hollywood Stuff
It was as if they had read it from a Hollywood script – and it was epic. With one out and on the third pitch that New York Yankees right fielder and future Hall of Famer Aaron Judge saw from struggling Dodgers right-hander Tony Gonsolin (an 89.7-MPH slider right down Broadway, no pun intended), the […]
Dodgers Make Head-Scratching Move
To say that the Dodgers bullpen is a mess would be a gross understatement. As we all painfully witnessed in Wednesday’s ugly loss to the AL Central second-place Cleveland Guardians at Progressive Field, 30-year-old Dodgers left-hander Tanner Scott not only blew the save of what should have been future Hall of Famer Clayton Kershaw‘s first […]
Dodgers Bullpen Rips Off Kershaw
There is no kind or gentle way to put it, the Dodgers bullpen sucks of late – more specifically, 30-year-old Dodgers left-hander Tanner Scott, who turned what should have been Dodgers ace and future first ballot Hall of Famer Clayton Kershaw‘s first win of his injury-delayed 2025 season into a no-decision. Scott, who entered the […]
Notes to ‘The Professor’ and ‘Doc’

Dodgers Release Chris Taylor
May 18th, 2025 at 1:40 pm 
by Ron Cervenka In a move that was pretty much expected, the Dodgers annouced late Sunday morning that they released utility infielder/outfielder Chris Taylor. But perhaps what wasn’t expected is that the team outrighted the 34-year-old Virginia Beach, VA native and fifth-round draft pick in 2012 by the Seattle Mariners out of the University of Virginia as opposed to […]

All Is Well In The Universe
May 18th, 2025 at 7:00 am by Ron Cervenka There isn’t a real baseball fan on the planet who wasn’t thrilled to see future first-ballot Hall of Famer Clayton Kershaw back on the mound for the first time since August 30, 2024 – regardless of who their favorite team is – on Saturday evening. Simply put, the three-time Cy Young Award winner, 10-time All-Star, […]

The Spirit of Don Drysdale
May 18th, 2025 at 7:00 am by Jesse Pearce This isn’t about Don Drysdale‘s stats, which earned him entry into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1984. Instead, this recalls his combative spirit – his intensity – the intangibles that characterized his career and helped secure his spot in the sacred Halls Cooperstown. Drysdale was one of the fiercest competitors I have ever watched […]

The Silver Lining
May 17th, 2025 at 7:00 am by Ron Cervenka It’s a simple fact. Any time the Los Angeles Dodgers of Los Angeles lose to the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, it leaves a sour taste in the mouths of Dodgers fans, especially when it happens at Dodger Stadium. Such was the case on Friday night, when LA County’s only Major League Baseball team lost […]

STOP IT!
May 16th, 2025 at 11:00 am by Jesse Pearce The supposition will not go away: Dodgers should trade for Chicago White Sox center fielder Luis Robert Jr., or acquire St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado. STOP IT! Robert or Arenado are not going to be Dodgers this season, and most likely never. Financially, neither player makes sense for the Dodgers. Robert is making […]

‘Not Good’
May 14th, 2025 at 7:00 am by Ron Cervenka Here’s what Dodgers manager Dave Roberts had to say (Verbatim) following his team’s ugly 11-1 loss to the AL West second place Athletics in front of a Dodger Stadium crowd of 45,161 on Tuesday night, their first game back home following a ten-game/three-city road trip that took them through Atlanta (2-1), Miami (2-1), and Arizona […]

Watching James Outman
May 13th, 2025 at 7:00 am by Jesse Pearce Baseball is not an easy game to play, especially pitching and hitting. At the Major League level, the necessary skills and mental approach are incredibly difficult and only the best of the best can consistently play the game at elite levels. Nevertheless, there are certain fundamentals that are the same whether the game is played on a […]
